Description:	This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) clarifies that all commitments of a specific Generation Resource in response to an ERCOT Dispatch Instruction (whether issued electronically or verbally) for the commitment of that Generation Resource will be considered to be a Reliability Unit Commitment (RUC) and will be settled in accordance with the RUC Settlement provisions described in the Nodal Protocols.
Reason:	This change conforms the Nodal Protocols to the as-built ERCOT systems implementation and administrative controls.
